Hospital Again.....

Just a quick update on Katie. Unfortunately we are currently back in the hospital, Katie was suffering from a significant amount of pain, nausea, and vomiting with quite a bit of blood in her vomit.

We arrived at the ER this morning and were admitted to the hospital by late afternoon. She is currently receiving two units of blood and they will evaluate her blood loss to see where go from here. The blood is originating from the tumor in her stomach and may be problematic to get under control should it not slow on its own.

Thanks, Kevin for the update...I've been wondering ever since I saw the picture on FB. Please tell her a WHOLE BUNCH of people are pulling for her! Continued prayers of strength and good results to Katie, you and the family!! xo

I am incredibly sad to hear the latest news I like so many are praying for Katie, you and the boys. I will continue to pray for strength and recovery. Thank you so much for taking precious time away from Katie to update us. Continued prayers and hugs.

Was afraid something not so pleasant was happening since her last post was Friday. Kevin, thanks for updating us and know that Katie, you and your sons remain in my prayers. Sure hate to hear about her suffering ~ let's hope they can get a handle on this.

Kevin - thank you for taking the time to update us - especially as you have far more important stuff on your mind. Keeping you all in my thoughts and wishing that so much good will could create a miracle for you all. Hugs xx

Thank you so much Kevin for keeping us updated it is very thoughtful of you. Katie is never far away in our thoughts and I'm so grateful you took time to post. Big hugs all around to you and your family and be sure to tell Katie we are all thinking of her. hugs Donna x

Katie,I have only just discovered your blog and have only read a little of your story, but I can already see what an amazing woman, wife and mother your are. Your story has touched my heart and even though I am not an overly religious person, you are in my thoughts and my prayers. I will continue to read your blog and follow your story and pray that I will be able to do so for some time yet. I pray that you can stay strong and find the miracle you need to beat this horrible disease. My family was devastated by cancer last year, so I know how hard this battle can be. Keep swimming!Sarah xx

You are all in my prayers. Tell Katie there are more people than she is even aware of praying for her and her lovely family. Thank you, Kevin, for taking the time to let us all know. We worry when we don't hear from her.

Sending love, and support and gentle thoughts Katie and Kevin... you are grace and strength and beauty personified. I came upon your story via Julie Ranae. I am feeling very strong connections on numerous levels as I read it. I will keep you and yours in my heart as I take a virtual hand and walk with you. With love, Stephanie

My husband graduated from high school with Katie. She has been in our prayers since we found out. I recently found out about the blog, and am so in awe of her strength. What an amazing woman! Continued prayers for healing, and comfort for your family.

Hey Kevin, thanks so much. I do not know you all personally but have been following your journey. I certainly do not want to supercede what you and your doctors are doing but I went through this very same thing with my brother 3 years ago. The doctors stopped the bleeding with radiation. Just wanted you to know.

well the amazing blogosphere ..I hope Katie knows we are all praying for her..and you and the kids...She is one VERy amazing woman...God is kind and good and will keep her in his hand thruout..of this I have no doubt...God Bless you all!

What more can I say that hasn't been said, but know that one more person is praying for Katie and you and your boys. My prayer is that God will give you strength and peace and joy in your time together, and asking for a miracle if it is His will.

I send gratitude to you, Katie, Kevin, and your family for the love and courage that you model for all of us every day. You make us all better people for what you give and what you share. Thank you for that gift.

Kevin I just came across your wife's blog as it was sent to me by a friend. I have read all of Katie's posts and I am praying for you, Katie, your sons and your entire family. I know the scare of cancer and you never get used to saving you have it. Please tell Katie I'm sending her all my strength for her to keep pushing forward. Thank you for keep her friends and now her new friend (me) posted.

Katie & Kevin, we may be strangers but you and your boys are in my thoughts and prayers daily. I pray for your physical, mental and emotional strength while you are all taking on the battle of a lifetime. God bless you and your family.

Katie....I have no words to express how I am feeling but I want you to know I think of you always. I think often of how we met at CHA a couple of years ago and how brief it was and I wish we could go back in time and sit and enjoy each others company. You are an amazing woman, mother and friend. So much love and prayers to you and your family my friend.
